Money is Sacred, Counterfeiting of It Is What Lies at The Root of so Much Evil

Gold is a symbol of the Sacred for a good reason: It is difficult to counterfeit, and it has a stable, enduring, beautiful quality that allows it to symbolize values of exchange in a community, helping to establish a common wealth in which each person's wealth can better grow to the service of everyone else's. That requires a sociopolitical trust that is stable enough and coherent enough to generate the authority and process of issuing currency, and that is no small matter but implies a great deal of good faith and credit all around. Therefore the corruption of such a process is a great crime and a form of profound treason.So
fraud was generally understood to be the presentation of the image of a value
that is without the backing of the actual substance. It can consist of degrees, so that the image
may present as a certain value, and the actual substance may consist of a mere
fraction of that value, ranging from an infinitesimal amount less than the full
value of the image, all the way down to absolute zero. Surely it is possible to go into the negative
as well, and this happens whenever there is some substance behind the image
which reverses the quality of the value shown.
Take food for example. If there
is the image of excellent and nutritious food, but the actual fact is that it
is without much nutritional value, then that is a form of fraud that is a
fraction of the value presented. But if,
regardless of its nutritional value, it also contains a poison that damages the
health of someone who eats it, then that goes further than simply presenting
some amount of nutritional value and delivering some amount which may be
less. It actually damages the health of
the person. And since the health of the
person is what nutrition supports, and to damage health is worse than to offer
no benefit, we could say that fraud may be a fraction of the value, none of the
value, or a negation of the value.

So
there could be all sorts of fraud in this context. You might be offered a richly nutritious meal
that is priced over its value, or you might be offered a semi-nutritious meal
that is presented as though much more nutritious, yet priced at the level of
its actual value, so that it appears you are getting more for your money than
you are, although you are not getting less than what your money ought to
buy. Worse, there is the possibility of
getting poison added, so that even the best and most nutritious food offered
for free would be not only of no real value, but of negative value. It is better to pay money to NOT EAT AT ALL in that case.

We
know that an economy is the social networking of people who exchange goods and
services, and that this is enhanced by the development of a monetary
system. We also know that any monetary
system gains its utility because of the pre-existing economy, and that the
economy which is enhanced thereby grows in value due to the increased
efficiency of exchange that is made possible by the use of money. So while the value of money is equal to its
value added to the economy through the enhancement it brings, the value of the
money in the economy is fixed to the
relative values of the goods and services themselves. It is not that it is impossible for money to
be a token of exchange which is itself a valuable commodity, this can also be
the case. But the value of that
commodity used as currency is tied to its use in that respect only insofar as
it actually enhances the exchange of already existing goods and services!

There is no such thing as "money, valuable in
itself". There are commodities that
are valuable, such as tobacco, and which can be used as currency, but the value
of tobacco AS CURRENCY is simply it the
degree to which the economy is enhanced bg its use as money. Likewise, the value of the tobacco as currency
in the economy is strictly tied to the goods and values which are exchanged in
the economy, minus its own value as a commodity in itself.

So
if we have an economy in which tobacco is used as a currency, then of course
the tobacco can be valuable by itself as something people may smoke or process
in different ways. Perhaps it would be
even better to suggest the Hemp plant as a currency commodity, since it has so
many varieties of use in industry, food, and medicine. It's already a value, and that value cannot
be "counterfeited" unless you can somehow develop "fake
hemp". It doesn't just grow
everywhere to such a degree that it can't have some relatively stable value in
the economy, but can be grown well enough to be a staple of the economy with a
somewhat predictable value based upon expected amounts grown and harvested
every year, its demand in different sectors of the economy as a raw material,
and this gives it a stable value. Everything in an economy in which hemp's
value is well-appreciated can have a value understood in proportion to a given
amount of hemp in a very justifiable, intelligible way that is not likely to
change radically over time. If it did,
then it would be possible to simply
switch the currency over to another commodity which had more stable properties
in relation to the economy as a whole.

But
if we were talking ideal commodities for a currency, it would seem that
homogeneous substances, with a wide array of utility, and with an enduring
quality that is resistant to change in the form of decomposition or any other
alteration, would be better in the service of a currency. It would have to be relatively scarce, safe
to handle, imperishable over time, easily converted into tokens representing
specific amounts. Precious metals and
semi-precious metals meet these requirements.
They are a commodity which in most contexts represents a certain amount
of labor, time, energy, resources, and which in increasingly modern contexts
represents many valuable uses in various sectors of industry. Gold, silver, copper, nickel, platinum, and
their alloys with one another and with other metallic elements can be a very
efficient way to create money for an economy.
Their worth as a practical commodity useful specifically as a currency,
even without reference to their other values as jewelry, electronics components
and other technological uses, chemical ingredients in various industrial
processes or as elements in specialized machinery. So before those uses are considered, as a
sheer currency these elements can be superior as a currency to many other
reasonably suitable commodities.

In that they are elemental substances with predicable properties
such as density, luster, ductility, tensile strength, conductivity, and other
properties, it is possible to be better sure of their purity and genuineness
than with many other substances, especially in that they are elemental and
exist as stable forms of natural materials at their most basic levels in atomic
form. It's easy to see that such things
are typically impossible to counterfeit without there being a way to find out,
and that's also part of their value as a currency.

The
question arises how such a thing as currency would be properly introduced into
an economy?First we might look at the entirety of the
economic process without bringing currency of any kind directly into the scene. If there are already a
stable aggregate of economic actors trading goods and services, it is already
conceivable that people who produce goods and services are aware of how
difficult it is for them to acquire those goods and services per the components
of the goods, the rarity of those who can work them into those goods, the
rarity of the skill required for certain services, the demand which exists for
those versus the supply which can be made available at those costs and
difficulties, and so those can all be assessed by those who produce the supply
to be worth to them a certain amount of any given amount of commodities which
also exist in the economy, so that based on the total supply of anything wanted
by anyone, and what proportion of any of that supply anyone can claim as their
right by production of it, they can determine how much they are willing to give
for what by negotiations with one another that will approach a bottom line
where everyone gets about as much as they give, although each may get more than
they give if they find that a certain amount of utility which what they get is
greater for them than the utility of what they give.

So
for example a blacksmith needs metals to work with to produce his goods. He needs tools to start with. Once he's up and running with those he can
reproduce those himself. If he is the
only one in a given area who can serve as a blacksmith, then his skill will be
in high demand. If it turns out that
working before dawn and after dusk every day he still cannot meet everyone's
needs in a rapid enough way that they can get their orders in a reasonable
time, then that is a functional limit on the growth of that economy insofar as
it depends upon the forging of goods by a blacksmith. The bottom line will not cease to be that he
must have the requisite materials and tools, must have the facilities, must
have the energy and food, must have the other things he needs, and these must
be supplied by others who may or may not require much from him in return as a
blacksmith per se.Insofar as the economy had already prospered
sufficiently to make the existence of the novelty of metalworking possible,
without it already being necessary, his craft is new and untested and demand
for it will be at first undeveloped as the appreciation of its utility is not
yet developed.When its utility is
demonstrated in various ways, then the gains it brings every aspect of the
economy tells and the blacksmith can assert a demand for what his services and
goods are worth, and this would eventually be worth enough of what else is
available in the economy that he can support his needs in the full spectrum of
a typical household's needs simply through his work in this specific trade.

So
what the blacksmith demarcates is a level of economic activity that
fundamentally separates the general and the specialized on one hand, the simple
and the complex on another, the primitive and the advanced in yet another.
Letting him stand for a certain productive factor of a special sort, we can
look at his work as being made possible only by all the other goods and
services which are the prerequisite.
There must be farmers, ranchers, and foragers, stoneworkers and
woodworkers, miners, and textilers. This
would seem to be a basic minimum, and human society worked within the economic
thresholds set by those facets of human need served by those specialities for a
very long time before metalworking came along.
As surplus goods were possible by the efficiency which was obtained in
these arts, then more human beings could be sustained in existence over a given
area of land by the productive efforts of a fixed amount of labor. Of course it would not be reasonable to
simply let an increase in population exist which was to feed upon the produce
of the other, preexisting number, with the former being the beneficiaries of
the latter, as that would relegate to slavery in just that proportion the
productive class which made the beneficiary class possible in the first place,
and could well have done without their existence all the better!

But
let's not say that we go that route and set up some class above the task of
working for the common good, and let's say rather that as they come into
existence they are tasked to join the workforce which made their existence
possible in the first place. In so doing we would find that, all else being
equal, they reduce the intensity of work needed to produce the same amount of
goods and services which support everyone, and so while the total amount of
value produced is the same, everyone receives no less than before, and the
workload is easier, and the durability of the workforce is increased. Likewise, this means that with the same
amount of goods and services available for less work, there are is more time
for each person to spend away from work, more time to spend at work to create
more surplus to cover lean times or emergencies, more human beings doing more
original and innovative things (hopefully), and the opportunity to begin
shifting the workload according to the proclivities and abilities of the people
who will participate in the work.

That
is an overall qualitative improvement that is a result both of the efficiency
of the work done, and the novelties of action which are possible only with some
amount of durability of population and increased freedom of time per person,
along with increased varieties of human specimens which are available at
increasing rates with increased population sizes. This can ideally help to develop better
methods and systems of work which create more time for activities other than
work, or at least other than merely subsistence work, or if nothing else
increased surpluses of goods and services which could be held in reserve for
security against exigencies of any kind, or else again spent on increasing the
population.

Leaving
aside any injustices which might result from people's intent to cheat or
otherwise harm anyone else in the population, there are inefficiencies which
stem simply from the unideal circumstances of nature's starting conditions at
any given time, and which cause there to be various unpredicted and possibly
unpredictable mismatchings or suboptimal matchings of persons to tasks, persons
to persons, groups to groups or groups to environments, and these can be better
worked out as the efficiency and surpluses got from improved economics and
methodological and technological progress come along. That would be a wholesome way to invest a
certain minimum of all economic proceeds before considering any raw population increases.

Probably it would best work in this order:

1)Increased time
for all

2)Increased
surplus for all

3)Increased
durability of work assignments

4)Increased
opportunity to develop and work in new ways which enhance the economy of work

5)Increased
opportunity to develop and work in new ways which enhance the economy of action
beyond work

6)Increased
opportunity for a stable increase in population with all its attendant
ramifications for the preceding

Up
to the point of metalworking and advanced arts of craft and engineering, there
is a conceivable eternity of ever-improving economic conditions based on no
further advancements than those basic modes of economic action mentioned before
the "blacksmith/engineer" class of human worker. Even without adding any science beyond that
which augments specifically pre-metallic arts and crafts, and even without any
inventions of games or sports or fine arts of any kind, there is ample room for
the human being to develop and express his form of life without any need for
injustice of one done to another, nor any need to fear the loss of civilized
progress or of his species as a whole, and there is ample room for him to grow
indefinitely across all of space and time in any "earthly
conditions".

Obviously
many complicating factors exist which are both from human environments and also
from the human condition in and of itself. But leaving those aside, there is no
need for concern for moving beyond a certain technological limit,
pre-metalworking, nor any need to concern ourselves with the question of
recreational activities per se beyond
rest and the enjoyment of his own fruits of his work, as well as the
ever-increasing augmentation of these toward greater and greater optimization.

Add
to all this, there will also be abundance of all those things, and an abundance
of time as well. There will also be an
abundance of fecundity in the form of growth in numbers and in terms of the
manifestation of novelties . And all of
this is conceivable before beginning to introduce the merest metallic object or
any of its uses. It's easy to see that
with woodworking and textiling, agriculture and animal husbandry, horticulture
and pharmacology, language and thought, methods of art and formulae of science,
there is no need of humanity which cannot be met. But add to all this music, sculpture, painting,
poetry, storytelling, dance, yoga, architecture, and so on, and do all this without metal, and there is an amazing amount
of happiness and enjoyment of free time which is possible for people. Let chemistry be developed but let
metalworking still be left out of the picture, as far as such is possible, and
there can be an amazing amount of further progress in all areas of human action
already developed. Let there be all
sorts of scientific discoveries which are possible without the working of
metal, and many technological advancements which can result from those
discoveries in tandem with crafts which still yet exclude metalworking, and
still much more progress can be made, and perhaps in ways not possible or
likely for us to envision in our "post-metallic" world.

But
let's just say that there can be radical abundance and progress without the
working of metal in ideal circumstances if only human beings were willing to
meet the challenges of life with the sort of commitment and zeal which would
make that possible. But then what if we
include metal-working? Then all the
aforementioned is still possible, only now as augmented and improved and
enhanced, and diversified as only the existence of metal and its workings in
art and science could make possible!

It
should be admitted that with his early inclusion in the economic system, the
metalworker is a welcome addition, but not a necessary one. But let it also be admitted that with his
inclusion and consequential developments we now have a radical departure from a
world of humanity in co-existence with nature which now forms economies that
involves features not readily found in nature in any form, and which do not
readily return to nature to be recycled into her original bounty.

Let's
say that the stoneworking class is the apex of human economy of
nature-manipulation toward the ends of tools and objects of value made out of
matter found in nature. Then of course
the woodworking class is a class parallel to that, and both are able to work
together to produce tools, shelter, durable commodities, all of which are of
value to every member of human society.
This clearly has some value for everyone who engages in any other
activity, although people would not die immediately without it nor starve
without it, nor suffer in any way without it in the same way that they would
possibly be harmed if there were a loss of economic actors and activity in any
of the other areas of meeting human needs.
Yet, if we realize that there are levels of efficiency which could not
be obtained without the crafts of these two classes, the wood/stone working
classes, then we realize that if a population size and an attendant lifestyle
of that population existed which were dependent upon the developments in all
the other areas of economic activity which were made possible to that level
only due to the integrated existence of all the artifacts of wood and stone
which made them possible, then a depreciation of those arts and crafts and
their resultant output of infrastructure, objects, and their maintenance, would
mean a depreciation of conditions capable of supporting that size of population
and quality of life had by those people in that socioeconomic domain.

So the value of any echelon of any art or craft is proportional to
the loss of marginal utility which would result if its "state of the
art" were diminished in any way, whether as to quality or quantity of
output.

If
the quality were very fine and of a high standard, then it is probably the case
that it would be the first to suffer, before the quantity of what was less fine
and high in standard. If the arts and
crafts that were more refined and specialized were the first to go, then that
would mean a reduction of the existence of a class of goods and services, and a
reduction back to a lower scale of quality, but not necessarily a debilitation
of a quantity of goods and services so that a lower, but still quite high
standard of life could persist, and still be justly and well-distributed among
all the same quantity of population.

Regardless
of those ups and downs, and leaving out still the issue of injustices and
criminal activities of any kind, there is the possibility held in abstracta that people could receive a
quantity of goods and services proportional to the quantity and quality of what
they themselves produce. That this could
ideally be fair and just is all that is needed to understand that injustice
amounts to a deviation from that ideal, nothing less, nothing more. It may be the case even yet, as said before,
that this occurs only because humanity had yet to optimize conditions, discover
the fullness of potentials, realize the true value and nature of things fully,
and so did not yet better approach the ideal and most just distribution of
tasks and rewards, but was not necessarily negligent of a proper investment
into such adjustments, and was not necessarily intentionally involved in the
existence of such inequities nor of their ignorance of them nor of their
current failure to correct them. It may
be that due diligence was done, and efforts were and are being made in good
faith, and people are not severely debilitated in their quality of life and
happiness beyond what was forced upon them by the exigencies of natural
conditions still outside the power of human beings to mitigate or control
despite their best efforts and abilities to date.

Nevertheless,
we would understand that metal-working beyond stone-working, and stone-working
beyond wood-working, represent a tendency of humanity to develop methods and
means which take forms of matter harder to work and make of them artifacts and
processes which are increasingly strategic and dynamic in their impact on his
consequent actions and conditions. Then
we see that the sciences which maximize the manipulation of matter whether as
to kind or degree of matter manipulated or as to the refinement and complexity
of those manipulations increases the variety and quality of human activities in
each area of his life, and increases the areas of human activity that are
possible in all forms of expression, whether practical or recreational,
concrete or abstract, public and social or private and individual.

As
a result of viewing the economic process in this way, the only meaningful
addition which is brought into the picture with the notion of a currency is to
objectify and standardize in some normative form the exchange process itself. It doesn't perform another function, nor is
there any other means of performing this function which works as efficiently.
It is possible to accept receipts for goods and services received as a
statement of debt to that provider, and then issue a complementary statement of
indebtedness to the provider which authorizes him to acquire from the economy
an equivalent value, but then he'd have to bargain at each place he went,
showing his trade balance, and in each case he'd have to argue that "the
economy" owes him some equivalent value.
Then those to whom he showed this balance would have to decide of those
who received these services were members in good standing of that economy, and
whether or not their contributions to the economy were sufficient to warrant
compensation through that transaction now requested of them, and then from that
point, as it were, offset the original debtor by some agreed amount with their
own contribution to the holder of that debt. Therefore the first debt acquired,
say from a transfer of goods from B to A, would be offset by some amount by a
transfer of goods from C to B, whereby C acquires some portion of that debt. At
some point we have to expect that there is going to be a contribution of goods
or services by A to some series of receivers of that value who eventually
contribute, at the end of that chain, a delivery of goods or services to C
which completes that particular circle of exchange of values. And it would have to be negotiated in each
case what these exchanges are worth so that a final assessment of the original
debt of A to B could be assessed finally.

But
that would be an unwieldy way of going about matters. Rather it would be much better to decide upon
a commodity of some kind which everyone in the economy could agree represented
a certain value to everyone, something that was reliably of the same value from
person to person in that economy, allowing for an averaging of the variations
in that value from person to person, but with an average value that has the
smallest possible range of differences in valuation compared to all the rest of
the commodities available in quantity, and which could be most homogeneously
valued if broken down into small denominations which could measure up to any of
the least valued goods and services in the economy. Ideally, from that point, it would also be
durable and therefore have a long "shelf life". Forging coins out of metal, or discs out of
jade, or some other such method could bypass the entire issue of the value of
such a commodity "in itself" and simultaneously meet the requirements
of an ideal type of substance to use for the currency due to its suitable
qualities for that purpose. Other types
of items or substances could also suffice for that purpose, but the key thing
is that it should be something not readily or easily acquired, so that it could
represent a stable value for that purpose as a
currency, a value which would have normally been innate to any other
commodity in the economy which had a value independent of the existence of any
utility as a currency.

To
avoid counterfeiting, this should be the minimum asked of a currency, that it
be difficult to come by without a value being guaranteed by that token of
currency, even if it is just difficulty which comes with acquiring such a
substance from the clutches of nature.
But it is worth the while to develop such a device, and its value as a
currency makes the effort worthwhile because it coordinates the process of
exchange via an objective medium that bypasses the vicissitudes of evaluating
each unique exchange as a debt to be recorded and held in suspension until a
satisfactory record of a proper series of exchanges occurs which offsets it
"properly", and by no certain means of estimating their consistency of
valuation from exchange to exchanges, especially if the actual process of such
a series of exchange were complicated or very long. That means that what currency represents is
the validity of an exchange process across a series of economic contributors
which uses currency as a token of value establishing the relative value of
goods and services across the economy, and allows each person involved to
better estimate what their goods and services are worth to the economy versus
what they hope to gain from the economy, and this is the consolidation of each
person's wealth into a common wealth
which is represented by that circulating currency. And if that currency represents that flow of
values, and if it is to do this efficiently, it must have integrity. And in order for that to be ensured,
then there must be standards which require that currency be introduced in some
stable relation to the existing state of the common wealth, and that requires
an authority to assess such a condition to the satisfaction of all the
participants involved.

And
since that common wealth is held in common, and since that currency represents
the size and value of that economic union of contributors to that wealth held
in common through a union of exchanges, then they should agree to establish a
covenant wherein the assessment of the value of the common wealth has an
objective relation to the amount of currency brought into the economy. How could that be done? Establish, by some assembly of
representatives of that common wealth's creators, an agreed upon standard of
worth denominated by some agreed upon form of currency. Then issue that currency to each participant
according to the size and value of their holdings of goods as appreciated in
terms of that currency, and likewise develop an assessment of the value of
their services over some standard period of time based upon the rate at which
they would be expected to serve over that period of time and at what quality of
service which would be the average of their services over that period of
time. That period of time would also
represent the period of time used to establish the quantity of goods expected to
be produced by those who produce goods, and their value assessed as a function
of the demand which is estimated for those goods over that period of time, as
in how much they can be expected to deliver to others over that time, and what
that value would be in terms of the currency agreed upon. Then let that amount which is established for
each participant be issued to them as a certificate from the convened
authority, and held in trust for each person will be a quantity of currency
which those certificates can demand at the end of that period of time, where
those certificates are held by other
members of the economy who sold goods and services, and therefore the standard
means of exchange is established in the form of those certificates, but they
are redeemable for "hard currency" upon demand by someone who is
their bearer but not the one to whom they were originally issued.

So
if someone whose value to the economy were assessed with a certain value, and
they spent their certificates, then those who received those certificates could
receive hard currency at the fruition of that period of time over which the
assessed value of everyone's contribution was at first established. Then at that time, if someone spent all their
certificates and received goods, but didn't receive any certificates (say),
then they could not receive any hard currency, obviously. Nor could they
anymore receive certificates, since their value was over-assessed so severely,
and they are now in a state of complete debt equal to the supposed value of
their total stock assessment for that period of time. The value of their stock
turned out to be less than their acquisitions from the economy (much
less). But that would be an extreme case
and that would suggest that more than an economic concern was at issue. Let's say instead that their value was less
than assessed, but significantly more than zero. Then their debt would be much smaller, and
this would mean that their currency
would be an amount less than expected, and that difference would be recognized
as a depreciation of the value of their stock, and their prices would be
changed accordingly, and the certificates issued for the next period of time
would be accordingly less, and this process could continue in each case until
they were able to reach an equilibrium and concrete standards could be
developed which would be consistently reflected over time.

Then
at that point, which could be established as some empirical standard of
equilibrium that is reached between the expected value and the actual value,
then at that point that person could convert their certificates into hard
currency, and that amount would be equal to their reliably assessed average
contribution to the common wealth at that time.
From then on, they have their own currency, as well as their own wealth
which it represents. That wealth is a
function of the common wealth as their contribution to it over that period of
time. That is the sign given to them of
their own good faith and credit to the rest of the economy. They still have
their land, goods, and talents which were granted to them by fortune, fate,
God, etc, and over which they steward more or less responsibly, and they can
still accept certificates or hard currency, and can spend either. But their wealth no longer need be tied
directly tied directly to their holdings as a function of expected versus
actual returns in the economy, but can be transacted as a function of their
acquired wealth in monetary form, just so long as they have enough of that and
their own holdings in a process of reciprocal exchange in the economy so that
what they receive from it is less than the total value of their stewarded
holdings plus their wealth. In this scenario "stewardship over
holdings" replaces "ownership of possessions".

And
of course if a person should ever run out of currency for whatever reason, and
if the demand for their goods should drop, their credit
for any loans would be a function of their history of transactions in that
common wealth, all of which could be tracked and assessed by that convened
authority or its delegation of authority for that purpose. Congress has the authority to mint our
currency, so why are we pretending our good faith and credit is inferior to the
supposed good faith and credit of foreign powers or private interests of any
kind, given that the United States of America is actually and potentially the
most productive and inventive land the world has ever known. But let's move on
to the issue of the systems of fraud which have made the worst of what could
have been so simple and straightforward and converted our commonwealth into a
trash heap of pseudo-debt and corruption so absurdly rotten that it's become a
circus of mockeries rather than a transaction of values and progress of
developments.So going back to our beloved blacksmith, we can see how he comes into the economy, as with each member. He was already a member according to the goods and services he had stably traded with others, and according to the wealth the possessed which was recognized by that economy. He then began offering blacksmith services and goods from his craft. He himself invested his own wealth into that process and/or so did other investors. Then the returns were at the expected amount or were more or less, and his prices were adjusted accordingly, and the costs of the overhead assessed versus those gains and a profit or loss was assessed, and this goes on until the venture either grows or collapses. This process can be as objective as anyone could ask, and it doesn't require convincing any particular person in the economy what the value of blacksmithing is per se in order to begin an exchange of goods and services as a blacksmith. In this way a venture such as blacksmithing can be conceived based upon an index of the costs that go into into it versus the expected values which will be returned from its being traded on the market, all by means of a quantitative index that stably represents the value of every aspect of this activity in relation to the economy into which it is being ventured. That is another value of having a stable currency, it allows for the more well-calculated development of new arts and crafts into the commonwealth as well as a better assessment of their actual value to the economy which might not be directly expressible as any other particular amount of good or service in a direct exchange.This can clearly benefit innovators and people who know how to work smarter rather than just harder, and it can help people better assess whether they are gaining from doing any of that in a way that can be graduated and objectified rather than just "eyeballed" and "guesstimated". That is what will enable the increased development of an economy that ensures that people will be as well-rewarded for their contribution as is possible, especially when the quality and degree of contribution, and also the kind of contribution begins to become either more abstract or more specialized, more advanced and more complex.

What happens in the real world rather than this idealistic outline
of it is that human beings are not satisfied with operating within the limits
of optimal economic activity, nor are they satisfied with being duly diligent
to considerations of fairness and justice.

History,
especially in light of current events, shows us that what has been just said is
true. Every advance in technique and
technology has come with every form of immorality and criminality taking full
advantage of these developments for the sake of a kind of "gain"
which can only be considered for the True and Just Man to be a kind of severe
loss, no matter in what way it happens, no matter in what way we consider
it. There is no "bright side"
to this evil shadow, no matter what apologetic fools say.

First
of all, as I've said, it is easily conceived that if human beings would simply
act according to the True and Just principles which he can use his intellect to
conceive Rightly, then the he would be immune to all of these evils of nature
and overtime completely overcome nature with his own superior idea. But instead what has he done? When the best and brightest have set up his
institutions of advancement over nature, the worst and the dimmest among him
take these developments and use them to create an underclass of victims over
whom to exercise beastly appetites and vicious iniquities, and instead of
correcting the injustices of the natural circumstances and optimizing the
conditions of the status quo of
humankind, the villains who usurp the reigns of authority of any kind always
find a myriad of ways to transform human action into a circus of organized
criminality with a permanent "criminal elite" and a permanent
"victim peasantry". It turns
out that the constant target of these wicked agendas are those very Ones who
brought the better quality of life to human existence, who made the better life
possible for everyone. These Ones
discovered the arts and sciences, the crafts and traditions which were all
worth inventing and keeping. These Ones
brought these great things into existence, and in trade the masses of humanity
simply aligned with the evil ones who managed to fit their bestial, demonic
minds into these same bodily forms, and who then turned all and any against
those who made that better life possible, and all this to the discredit of the
common human being, and all this to the utter discredit of those who have
declared themselves the proper authorities over him.

This
has happened so many times and in so many ways, for so long, and so severely
that at this time, at the height of human technological and methodological
capability, the worst conceivable crimes are being systematically conducted by
the worst possible souls and minds, wearing veils of authority befitting only
the Good and Just, veils worn so thin by guilt and shame that it is a mockery
akin to the wearing of an animal skin by a vicious savage, yet as to the
condition of the affair it is well-suited to the occasion, because the monster
that wears the face and skin and carries the emblems of the Righteous does so
just as if he were a beast dressed as a Man, no longer even looking the part
properly, not even putting up a half-decent act. Of course it can be shown that this was
possible because the weaponization of all the most advanced methods and
technologies of the True Man enable the distortion of the physical human brain/
mind complex to such a degree that he can be made into an absurd clay, shaped
arbitrarily according to the whims of those who have absolutely no respect for
the better potentials of that clay as it would be transformed by Better Men.
Just as The Divine Spirit's Energy has been perverted to a destructive course
by an evil mind, so has the ingenuity of the Best Men been turned into a device
which degrades the brains and minds of human beings into something akin to that
of a side-show freak's twisted mockery of a mind and mentality.

Naturally
this comes without any acknowledgement of those who succumb readily to such
hideous transformations, as the ability to recognize a quality requires that
quality exist in a sufficient measure in the mind which can so recognize. That
is not possible for a broken and bent simulacrum, especially as it suffers
under the constant torture and deforming alterations of a mind hell-bent on
destroying any vestige of the True Man and His Nature, while keeping the
byproducts of His passing in this world as far as it is possible to do so while
keeping the True Man Himself suppressed as though a mere natural resource, to
be tapped when needed and then canned and shelved away when that is more
convenient. But since this is not the
True Order of Nature as allied to Divine Will, this is a war against that
Divine Will, and is ever unstable just as humankind's tinkering with
radioactive elements and the more primitive forms of harnessing them for energy
is also an ever-dangerous and ever-difficult enterprise.

As a basic example of how this has unfolded, we can look at the
forms of fraud which have persisted throughout the history of humankind, and
focus especially on those forms which have come to be in the recent epoch of
his transformation by way of the Enlightenment, provided as a double edged
sword that, unbeknownst to the evil-minded, when used against the Righteous,
while it does cause them harm temporally, it rebounds in direct proportion and
causes a far deeper, and eternal harm to those who have mis-wielded it.

Counterfeiting
of the currency was a primary way that those who falsely held the offices of
authority ensured for themselves a firmer grip on the lives of those over whom
they lorded their tyranny. By always
ensuring for themselves a prime cut of the developments of any economic action
by this means, they had always the power to "get the jump" on the
rest of the populace and advance ahead of them in every way physically possible
under the economic conditions of their time.

Coopting
the developments of any art, craft, and science also enabled them to ensure a
qualitative edge over the rest of the populace, while doling out to them a
reduced and inferior version of the same developments, saving for themselves
and their criminal class access to those superior prototypes and their
resulting developments, with access being direct or indirect in proportion to
the rank in their criminal hierarchy, and in such a way that this made their
own echelons more stable and enduring than otherwise, though it would have been
impossible without a slave class made up of unwitting brutes who just pour
their nerve and muscle into the works, along with a quaint minority of
Spiritual Beings imprisoned here who, because of their fleshly confusions, had
supplied a reliable flow of invention and ingenuity sufficient to ensure
forward progress of the criminal class while this would always precede the
consequent betrayal of those ingenious dupes when it was impossible to hide
from them anymore that their work would be used against the human slave class
and themselves as well if they objected, and sometimes even if they didn't
object because they were never to be trusted, as they were already too clever,
too informed of what was to be kept secret, and perhaps able to develop a
conscience which could rise even from the ashes of their already manifest
self-betrayal. Better safe than sorry
once the goods have been gotten, says the evil criminal overlord. There'll always be new specimen of ingenious
dupe in each generation, the evil tyrant surmised.

Of
course by maintaining a façade of propriety, paying lip service to the values
and purposes of the Righteous which were still ensconced in the traditions of
the realm and which were by rote recapitulated in the inertial forms of the
status quo of custom, law, and common sense as it operated minimally in the
base human, thereby the corrupt pseudo-elite could continue to maintain the
human circus / animal farm they'd constructed, while hoarding its best
developments unto themselves, and using all the mechanisms at their disposal to
covertly, and where possible overtly log-jam the developments enjoyed by the
slave class.

Besides
keeping that slave class around for whatever utility they still minimally
served, they were also kept for experimental purposes as guinea pigs, both for
"open air" operations and also for top-secret "black box"
experimentation. The overall utility of the human creature at this point was as
raw material for the nourishment and entertainment of the corrupt class so as
to have a constant stock of victims at their disposal for any form of perverse
pleasure they might seek, and also to have a reliable store of material to
throw at any situation that might require mass action of human beings rather
than other sorts of resources. But as
before, also for experimentation on the perfection of various forms of
manipulation and control which were always the ultimate arts and sciences of
the evil criminal class, but now with a freer rein than ever before, and with
more resources, more human material, and the most optimal conditions that
they'd ever had for their evil crafts.

The
ultimate of these developments has been the maximization of the image of a
status quo of propriety being the fixation of the masses, while the actual
conduct which takes place among them, with or without their awareness of its
phenomena, can be as different and even contrary as the controllers would
like. Most importantly and ultimately
was their intention to maximize this into a science so well-developed that it
could even take into its clutches the Divine Spiritual Man and render him into
an obedient slave who would devote all His Talent and Ingenuity to the service
of his own debasement at the behest of those who would reap the benefits and
inflict all the malfeasance without any danger of being recognized as doing
this by their ultimate victim and prize, the Divine Man, and all while being
able to dish out any blame and reprisals onto their Perfect Slave should he
show even the slightest inkling of rebellion, especially if it grew out of any
Innate Moral Awareness, which could only be due to His Sovereign Spiritual
Heritage.

Never in the history of the world has the class of evil controllers
and their useful underlings ever been closer to their most hideous goal, their
most sought objective, than in this recent era of the maximization of fraud by
means of covert, ubiquitously deployed technocratic tyranny.

As
generally explained, the ability to usurp authority by all the conventional
methods of violence and fraud were conducted, and the systematic abuse of these
offices, crowned by their duplicitous use of law and their covert civil warfare
operations while operating under the cover of being servants of the law, all
while draped in the emblems of virtue and honor which were inseparable from the
traditional conceptions of authority, enabled them to create a de facto slave class by many devices, not the
least of which in power and effectiveness was the manipulation of the currency
to suit their evil ends, especially through outright theft, graft, and
counterfeiting. Further was their
systematic usurping of the best technology for their own benefit, weaponizing
it against the slave class and its own inventors, while granting at best a
junky, inefficient redaction to the slave class.

In
order to proceed to discuss the modes of fraud which are maximized by current
technological and methodological standards, I should first go into the details
of the sort of social infrastructure which makes their perfidy possible over
the longer haul, and which enables them to interface with their slave/victim
class so that they can manipulate it as they see fit, and draw from it what
they want, and inject into it what they will.
This social mechanism had always existed among the criminal class and it
always obtained in certain forms in the way that they interfaced with the
common social strata the slave class. It
still exists in the same forms which it always had, despite any new outward
forms or superficial alterations of its appearance.

Overall,
the internal structure of the criminal elite groups can be characterized as a
hierarchy of power-hungry psychopaths who each envisions himself as the
ultimate chief among them, if only his chance would arise. Each one will spend their days slaving for
the gang while seeking to climb to the top rung in it for at leas a brief joy
ride at the top before they face their own demise, likely at the hands of, or
at least at the behest of, one of their own colleagues in crime. Together, they work to maintain a façade of
being somehow an expression of, a part of the "people", but inwardly
and in their secret confidences they acknowledge that they are the beneficiaries
of the slave class over which they must first and foremost work to maintain
under their control. Their efforts are divided, therefore, into maintaining
their role in their cult of villainy, solidifying the security of their
positions, seeking to ascend in its ranks or at least to increase their
benefits within its status quo, but all the while making sure to work together,
at minimum, to maintain their coercive and manipulative control over the de facto slave class, "the cattle, the
peasants", whom they pay lip service to by acknowledging them as the
working man, as the middle class of professionals, as "the people".

In
Truth, this group is a classical "5th column", and has always existed
since ever corruption met power, especially power wedded with authority. Therefore, insofar as they have the need to
maintain some relation of control over the masses who serve as their property
for use, they have had to have a "middle class" which recruits from
the best talents of the lower classes, and consolidates their best fruits, yet
also serves as the clearing house of those values and goods to be offered to
the covert criminal overlords as the readily accessible distillation of the
values of "the people" into a form already "handed up and
refined" for the "royal class" to derive their gains, and also
to cement their politics of control by working over that field by various
devices of fraud best described as "the long con".

They
use their manipulative advantage of being the spider at the center of the web
to intrigue the middle class elements against one another and against the lower
classes, while in that confusion trading loyalties and performing intricate
betrayals so as to keep the middle class dangling onto a fantasy of upward
mobility impossible for most if not almost all of them, while choosing only the
most useful while also the most corrupt of that class for rotation into the
perfunctory roles of service in the upper tiers of the outer facades of the
institutions of "the people", while replenishing their own stock very
carefully by choosing only those from among these who are seen to be choicest
by whatever criteria these "inner party" fiends have for that
selection process.

Maintaining the stability of illusions concerning the status of
people and their possibilities and potentials is the truestatus quo of the
corrupt elitists, while enjoying the benefits of promising long but delivering
short is their bread and butter. Its all
a major mind screw which is delivered to "the people" while the
bottom line is that "the people" are enslaved and tortured while
their overlords and beneficiaries pretend to be their hardworking, noble,
virtuous servants and benefactors.
Couldn't be simpler than this, and this is actually how it is.

Concerning
the interfacing "associate class" of underlings and middle managers
who keep the machine of exploitation intact, they are found to be those who are
content to stay in their positions, but are ambitious enough to be "good
earners" in the eyes of their masters, while being cunning and vicious
enough to keep those under them in line, and this extends all the way down to
the surface layer of managerial-employee dynamics in the daily life of the
"surface economy" (which I will go on to show is a "make
work" mock up pseudo-economy, a circus of drama and torment, thrills and
shills, nothing more).

This
class of people are the one's who do the more labor intensive tasks which hold
the whole con together. They supervise
the boards and faculties, they oversee the work projects, the grand
experiments, the various city sectors, the various rungs of each major
institution of the interlocking machine which constitutes the massive fleecing
and butchering operation that is human society and its nation-state
arrangements. They are the "sell outs" who are often in various ways
genetically and circumstantially infected with some aspect of evil and succumb
to it in spite of having the option to do otherwise, which morally and
spiritually cements them into the evil hierarchy, yet enables them to act as a
sort of face to the more gullible members of their social strata and guide them
down the paths intended for them according to the programs issued from the
upper echelons of evil.

This
kind of hypocrisy is sustainable by these types due to their having some
investment of Light within them on some level, and then their consequent
betrayal of that Light in this final life-time in exchange for a far easier
path in this life than they could look forward to if they were loyal to their
Conscience and the Truth. These evil
traitors make the entire con possible, and include the upper echelons of the
medical, scientific, technological, academic, and other professions. They happily sit on the committees, lounge
about on the boards, direct the associations and assemblies of their
lesser-powered colleagues, who are themselves either less willing to directly
participate in such evil conduct or, as often as not these days, simply less
qualified. The Saints in these groups
are those who do the real work of their profession, end up going against the
grain of the corrupt status quo, and end up being crucified by the very
communities they have served and by the colleagues who betray them in order to
stay in comfortably in the fold and who wish to avoid becoming a martyr or who
even hope to get closer to a promotion in the occult hierarchy that they sense
exists and which they slavishly fear.
That's becoming more the norm these days, judging by the material they
are squeezing through the universities.In this context it is easy to see how the distortions of every aspect of society can be arranged through a joint project of fraud utilizing classical counterfeiting methods, racketeering, coercion and other forms of fraud, all catalyzed by radical and systematic attacks upon the targeted "marks" (the majority of human society) by way of chemical, psychological, directed energy, weaponized 5th column activity at the local level, and various other forms of organized graft and sabotage, so that even today the basic fact of financial corruption at the foundation of our country cannot be grasped by the common person as the fact which it is, nor if it can be grasped, it cannot be appreciated, because despite comprehending or even understanding fundamentally what is going on, these people often still lack the impetus to properly gather this into a sense of what values are at stake and how this affects them, as if either their cognition were damaged, or the connection between that to their ability to evaluate and judge were damaged, or that faculty of evaluation and judgement itself wore damaged or any combination of all three. And given the systematic corruption going on and the methods of abuse it employs to gain its evil and false wealth, it is not actually surprising to anyone who becomes attentive to these matters.

So concerning these groups and their de facto representatives and instruments: Because they operate contrary to the purposes which they
claim to serve, both as the more culpable agents involved in these evil agendas
and also as entire classes and groups of social agents, these all comprise a de facto 5th
column.

They
have sabotaged the very purposes of their professions by destroying the best of
their fields who insisted on integrity, assisting in this by direct action or
by looking the other way, all while enabling the fruits of ingenuity and
progress to be usurped by pathetically evil liars and criminals who pretend to
be NOBLE, of all things, and who are the lowest scum of the earth, PERIOD.

They are the extensions of that deeper 5th column which strives
against what is best for humanity, what would have been his only hope to extend
himself to being redeemable as MANKIND,
and which is itself the simple and best way of describing all criminal
mentality and action, and this is the essence of EVIL MINDEDNESS in the domain
of human action.

I
will discuss in more detail the grim details of the various methods and
techniques, technologies and systems of their deployment which make these
hideous and ancient practices of evil and their odious practitioners an
exponentially aggravated version of their former selves, and hence have
culminated an ancient prophecy/prediction, that which stated that when evil
reaches its inevitable maximum in the world, at a key and critical juncture,
The Great Destroyer (of evil) would come into the world and stamp out all evil
and its manifestations, and would reclaim away all that could be redeemed, for
whom such destruction could at worst only amount to a soothing purification of
their connection and contact with evil, and this for an eternity hereafter.
